Just in case you’re waiting with bated breath…

You’d better take a breath.I’ve been just a little crampy and very tired all day, but no signs of labor. I’m trying to reset my aim for Sunday. If I don’t convince myself of that, the next few hours/days could feel like eternity!

Bets on the Baby

Today Kaitlyn suggested to Mom that everybody place a bet on the gender, weight, hair color, and date of birth of Mom’s baby with the prize being whoever wins skips dishes for one night- and Mom agreed! So here is a list of the bets:

This is it!
